Experience description

This mouthwatering guided tour of Miami’s Little Havana neighbourhood introduces you to some of the area’s most distinctive and authentic Cuban cuisine. Bring an appetite, because with five tasting stops at a series of local restaurants, you’re going to need it. You might sample a picadillo-stuffed empanada at one of Little Havana’s oldest restaurants, enjoy a refreshing mantecado ice cream made from a secret recipe, or in a traditional taverna sip on a mojito, Ernest Hemingway’s favourite tipple, one that’s as close to perfection as you’ll get outside Cuba itself.

As you wander between restaurants your guide will explain the rich history and culinary heritage of Little Havana, making sure you’re in the loop as to where the locals choose to eat and drink. Snack on a classic Cubano sandwich, and taste an ultra sweet and powerfully energising coffee then a glass of guarapo made from sugarcane, before trying a pastelito, the quintessential Cuban pastry, with a delicious guava filling. It’s not just the sunshine that gives Miami locals their happy disposition - it’s the cuisine too, as you’ll find out very quickly with this irresistible foodie tour.
